Interpersonal & Sexual Violence Response
We are here to support.
Elon University provides comprehensive response to issues of sexual violence, interpersonal violence, stalking, bias, harassment and hate. A confidential advocate can listen to your experience, discuss options and resources, and help support you through processes should you choose to engage with them. If you are seeking confidential advocacy, please contact AK Krauss, Assistant Director of the GLC for Violence Response at akrauss3@elon.edu or (336)278-5009, or contact Safeline 24/7 at 336-278-3333.
Elon University recognizes that people of all genders, sexualities, races, and abilities experience interpersonal and sexual violence, and deserve culturally humble care. We also recognize that individuals with marginalized identities often experience higher rates of violence and greater barriers to resources, and are mindful of that in our services. If you have experienced sexual violence, relationship violence, or stalking, there are resources available to you, whether it occurred during your time as a student, staff, or faculty member or before coming to Elon.
